From the Repertory.
JUDGE SULLIVAN. Having under
foot! that the democrats arc already begin
i-.ng te> deliberate on the fob]eel: of a can
divl.ite for the next election of Governor,
it icniinds us of a ptoir-ife we made long
ftnee to the public, which yet remains un
performed, and which mult Kill be poftpon
ecu
Immediately preceding the Jail election,
we made eight direct charges againlt Mr.
' ullivan, deeply aifetffcirg his character as
a candidate for an office of high trufi and
rt'fponfibiKty. Molt of thefe charges we
lupponed by the moft ample teftimony and
lor die red, we pointed out the evidence on
which we relied. Although tlicre could
not exift a doubt of their truth, in the mind
or any candid perfon, the Editor was abu
icd in moil of the democratic papers in the
hate, in the groilclt teuns , as an unprinci
pled calumniator — as a forger of fa He accu
sations—nor did their trfperfions ceafe when
the election was decided.
A clear conicttfkce lets a man at rights
with hirafelf, but doea not prevent an in
dignant refentment againft. the authors of
*n.ne?ited abufe. It was under influence
°* that re fe fitment we made the promife.
Some months elapfe.i before we were at
kifure to return to this fubjoct It appear
ed to us that die pubiic did not then require
that the unmerciful mangling of reputa
’Ivon, which muft have enfued ; and to at
tack character, unkfs compelled by public
exigency, whatever democrats mav think,
or tdect to think, is a talk from which we
are far from deriving any fatisfa&ion. It is
at any time, of all editorial duties th>- moll
uapleafant. 1 here were other confidera
tions ol a more powerful nature, but unne
cefTary te be here explained, which render
ed a rev iew of the charges irndetail, an un
grateful office, it was like Wife poflible that
many readers of this papeT, not Iiaving been
iubjected to tae unjuft abufe of unprincipled
pnrtizans, might confider it wanton, after
:Ke fate oi the eletfton was determinetl, to
diflurb ih* repofe of the unfuccefsful can
didate. For iuch reatona, however juft &
proper it might be, the editor declines ex
ecuting his promife, at this particular time.
Notwithftandiug which, he feels it a du
ty to himfelf and the public to add a few
remarks. The charges alledged againft
tiie democratic candidate wrere not made
without die utmoft caution and nquirv._
ro gull partizans, it WasafTerted in Bolton

wc have been guilty of falfhood, w*hy has

Wa' mg faid thus much, to (hew the firm
ground on which we ftand, there is fome
thincr more to be {'aid m behalf of an indi
vi !ual interefted in one of the charges. Mr
Rtei of Cambridge was given as authority
for one of our ftatements, dhe abrupt
manner in which we abandoned the iubject,
“as been improved by violent partisans as

Be it taerefore known that there was not
an article published relpeXing the injuftice
done him, which wras not perfectly correct
and which is not r.eiu capable of the moft
complete proof.
Here then wc furpprefs our ow n fenfe of
pctfwnal wrong * but not unconditionally.
Wa watchfu* attention to democratic
friper' \—It any one prefume to throw fuf
picion on our veracity, or infmuate that vve
are governed by other motives than have
been above lined, we flrall in juftiftcatiow
publilh the grounds of every aflerticn. Or
if ever the fame perfon (hould fuller himfelf
to coinv before the public, fer the fuffirages
of the citizens of this Commonwealth, we
(hall put it out of the pow r of the mod per

what we have advanced, or may find conve

JEFFERSON, BARLOW AND PAIN.
In oui laft letter we announced, and that
with extreme regret, the return of Joel Bar
low eft}. to this country 1 his man, the
throng iriend of Mr Jefferfon, and confi
dential companion of his late warm defend
er Tom Pain, is one of the mod barefaced
infidels that ever appeared in Chriftend<’m.
Some faffs refpeffing thefe diftinguithed
perfonages, may lerve to 11 w the notaries
of chrilianity what a band >f open enemies
to our holy faith is now affembling in this
country.
Mr Jefferfon in his famous " Notes on
Virginia” advances opinions incompatible
with Mofaick hiftoiy. l his cannot be chf
puted —nor will Mr, Jefferfon dare to deny
that he has, fines he has been prefident at
the United States, publicly made the eueha
rift a l'ubjcff of impious ridicule.
Tom Paine has written two books for the
exprefs purpofe of comba ing the Holy
Scriptures. His Age cf lieafcn, is but toe
common, and his letter, to the late Samuel
Adams, flill evinced his perverte adherrence
to his infidel fvftem.
Joel Bitlzu is faid to have written the
following lhccking letter to his correfpind
ent, John Fellow* • dated Hamburg, May
*3» 1795*
“ 1 rejoice at the progrefs of good fenfe
over the Damr.able lmpejlure of Ckrijftan
Mummery. I had no doubt of the effect of
Pain’s Age of Reafion. It muff oe cavalleti
at a while, bur it mull prevail. Though
things as good have been often faid, they
never were faid in fo good a way ” &c.
Mr. Barlow can now anfwer for himfeif.
If this letter be a forgery, let him inform
the public. I has never yet been contra -
dialed, though it has been four years pub
lifhed in America.
